Market

A set of arrangements for bringing buyers and sellers together through the price mechanism. A buyer's market is a market in which buyers can fulfill their desires at lower prices and on more advantageous terms than those prevailing earlier. It is a market characterized by many properties available and few potential users demanding them at prevailing prices. A capital market is comprised of the activities of all lenders and borrowers of equity and long-term debt funds. A money market is a market for borrowed funds, generally short-term. A seller's market is a market in which potential sellers can sell at prices higher than those prevailing in an immediately preceding period. It is a market characterized by very few properties available and a large number of users and potential users demanding them at prevailing prices.
